A member asked:
Anyone know what is a pathogen that is present in aids, asthma, leukaemia and cystic fibrosis?

Confusing question: Patients with any of the listed conditions can have an infection or infestation by a common pathogen ( they can all get strep throat).There is no unifying pathogen that causes all the conditions listed. Perhaps your question is really something else and the words are not quite able to address it.

Many: In all the conditions listed fungal colonization of the airway may occur. In immune compromised states such as leukemia and HIV, the fungus may become invasive and enter the bloodstream. Maybe you could provide a few more details in your question. Common viruses may also affect patients with these disease states.
